OF
BLUE 91' IS
Maeterlinck's Worthy Fairy Tale
Well Received by Atlanta
Theatergoers.
By TARLETON COLLIER.
After due c&nsultation with Alice,
who took the Wonderland trip;
Mademoiselle Cinderella, expert on
• metamorphosis of pumpkins and
mice, and Beanstalk Jack, the aerial
limber, one is able to announce au-
• loritatively that “The Blue Bird" is
n eminently worthy fairy tale.
And after a searching conference
with your own heart you can say
mrtdentiy that there is a poignant
something in Maeterlinck’s fantasy
hat makes it transcendent beyond
the frivol of fairy stories.
The performance of “The Blue
tLrd” at the Atlanta Monday night
was an entertainment refreshing aft-*
- i a season of hectic melodramas and
shopworn musical comedies. The
surprisingly large audience seemed
- enjoy being told things about life
nd death and home happiness which,
- ven if questionable from the view -
: > *int of the American Association for
■ Advancement of Science, were
irtling to the somnolence of that
portion Of the human cosmos where
i es human sympathy and understand
ing.
Lven the low-browed young mail
who went with the mistaken hope of
seeing a Sprightly, tights-clad chorus
nd a distorted comedian, and of
h< aring the newest music, opened
his eyes at the picture of the Hap-
i-messes, who could not see beyond
'heir dreams, and at the revelation
in the churchyard, when Tyltyl an
nounced awesomely, “There are no
dead." and at the vision of the Land
"i Memory, where children await
Birth, each with its destiny in its
hand. The tempered fatalism of Mae
terlinck’s philosophy was apparent to
even the dullest perception.
The story of “The Blue Bird.” how
Mityl and Tyltyl go forth in search
of the blue bird of happiness, accom
panied by the embodied spirits of the
household articles, is pretty well
known. Burford Hampden and Edi-
tha Kelly, as the two children, are
ambitious youngsters, but fall a bit
Unort now and then of realistic in
terpretation of child emotion under
stress.
They have fanciful adventure?.
Stars and fairies and the Hours and
the Happiness—all of whom are fan
tastically clad maidens of consider
able beauty—surround them at every
turn. It is fitting that the women
of the company should be beautiful.
Everywhere there are children,
some of them very tiny tots. The
tiniest ones were the greatest favor
ites of the audience, who vowed audi
bly that they were indeed cute.
"The Blue Bird” will be at the At
lanta Theater all week, with mati
nees New Year’s Day and Saturday.

Forsyth Bill of
Exceptional Merit.
Neptune’s.Garden,” the feature of
veek’s bill at the Forsyth Theater,
is ill it was proclaimed—a spectacu
lar pantomimic illusion, its story in
terpreted in dancing and lugubrious
music, with marble white staues that
■ orne to life at every shriek of a har
assed maiden, and that dive with all
the precision of a Piedmont Park
champion into a pool yawning at cen
ter stage. And having dived, the
( harming Galateas remain under the
water. Hence the illusion.
Of course, there is an answer, hut
what’s the use of exnlalning a per
fectly good mystery that otherwise
will mystify an entire week of audi
ences. It is enough to say that this
top-notch act of the week’s show is
about the most elaborate feat that
local vaudeville has known—elaborate
and pretty in every detail, particu-
'arly in the grace and intrepidity witlj
which the shapely Nereids dive.
The bill for New Year’s week well
deserves the crowds that poured into
The theater at two performances Mon
day, rain Monday, jamming the foy
er until even standing room was at a
premium.
Hackett’s Troupe Gets
Ovation at Lyric.
What is intended shall be a sea
son of high-class stock, giving At
lanta opportunity to see interpreted
by a splendid company the best plays
obtainable, was opened auspiciously
at the Lyric Monday night when
Norman Hackett and his capable
Players presented “The Double De-
■ p iver,” an entertaining comedy-dra
ma founded on O. Henry’s- famous
story, “A Double-Dyed Deceiver."
Mr. Hackett was not greeted with
•'eserved attendance, by any means,
but many of his old friends were
present, and he was given a very cor
dial reception. The presence in the
< ast of Mrs. Ransom Wright, the tal
ented society actress, and a leader in
the Atlanta Players’ Club, added to
the interest of the opening perform-
inee. There were curtain calls, of
ourse, the usual boquets. and even
little speech by Mr. Hackett, all
’f which helped make the occasion
more or less happy.
The Double Deceiver” will be the
bi’l throughout the week, with the
1:s ual Lyric matinees.

TO BEGIN SEWER SYSTEM.
a 'ANN AH, Dec. 30—L. Sigretto.
-Cp New York contractor, who was

bouse and storm water drainage sys-
'"m in Savannah, arrived to-day. He
Tin.iunced that he would begin work
ihia s.b.%* t-***s- %ays.
There seems to b. considerable un- I
certainty and some misapprehension
throughout the State as to the real
difference of opinion between Gen
erals Nash and Obear inside the State
military establishment, und public
men generally in Georgia are watch
ing the progress of the controversy
with a large degree of interest.
As a matter of fact, however, the
pefint of difference between the two
generals is not at all difficult to locate
and it concerns an administrative
question p.urely Leaving out all
points of personal and political dif
ferences—which General Nash, at
lea s * 'nsisu have rio place in the
pending discussion—the trouble all
arises from a question of law.
The Georgia military is organized
under a Federal statute known as the
Dick law. This law undertakes to
give extensive Federal aid to those
State troops coming under its opera
tion. They may or may not come un
der. as they please.
The State statute establishing the
Georgia military expressly provides
for a quartermaster general, and this
law never has been qualified or re
pealed in any way by the Legislature.
The same statute, however, which
creates the office of quartermaster
general provides f irther that the
Governor may. in his discretion, fix
regulations for the State militia, even
to the extent of changing in effect the
general State statute, if he deems
that necessary to bring the Georgia
statute within the meaning of the
Federal statute.
The clause giving the Governor this
discretionary authority expressly
states that he mav exercise it in or
der to bring the Georgia statute “in
detail” within the operation of the
“regulations of the War Department.”
and that department is empowered to
make regulations, under the terms of
the Dick act. for the State militia.
When General Obear was named
adjutant general bv Governor Hoke
Smith the office of Quartermaster
general was merged with that of ad
jutant general and Obear was given
charge of both offices. This merger
was effected by an executive order.
Governor Brown later re-separated
the offices, and retained Obear as
quartermaster—his old position—and
named Joseph VanHolt Nash adju
tant general. At that time, however,
the National War Department had
not issued its order doing away with
the office of quartermaster general in
the State, and there was no apparent
question of the latter officer’s sep
arate standing in the State militia,
save in so far as it had been changed
temporarily by Governor Smith’s or
der. Since Governor Brown appoint
ed Obear quartermaster general, the
War Department’s order abolishing
Obear’s office has been promulgated.
Nash’s contention. therefore, is
this: The War Department’s order
must be complied with under the au
thority given the Governor to com
ply, even though it does away with
the quartermaster generalship cre
ated under State statute, and that to
carry that officer longer not only ‘is
unwarranted in law, but a useless ex
pense of $2,750 per annum.
Governor Slaton Is thus placed in
the position of being forced to say
whether a regulation o." the National
War Department, under the Dick law’,
is sufficient to set aside an unre
pealed State statute.
The Governor is deeply concerned
over the situation in the adjutant
general's office and is giving the mat
ter his most careful attention.
Nash claims that Obear’s position
has been automatically abolished by
general order No. 8 of the National
War Department, which abolishes the
office Obear holds. Obear claims that
he still is quartermaster general ant-
should be retained as such, under the
State law creating liis office, which
has not been repealed hv Legis
lature.
Bather a pretty puzzle, and. as Ed
die Foy would say. ‘an odd one!"
The newspapers of Georgia, al
ways interested in the topic, have
been discussing of late the next May
oralty race in Atlanta, and are won
dering “what is going to happen.”
“Uncle Jim" Woodward has a real
State-wide reputation. There is “a
1 Woodward following”—whatever that
• is—in many towns and villages in
! Georgia that never have had and
I never w II have anything whatever to
| do directly with Atlanta city politics.
Woodward has been so persistently
I in the public eye, however; has been
I the storm center of so many pictur
esque campaigns for Mayor, and has
been so uniformly successful that
many esteemed contemporaries have
been moved to wonder who will “tac
kle the old man next.” if anybody,
and what will happen in the wind
up!
j It seems to be taken for granted
j generally throughout the State that
l Woodward will offer to succeed him-
l self as Mayor. It also seems to be
j taken for granted that the offering
I will bring on more talk. And. finally,
[that that "more talk” thus brought
j on is going to be becidedly interest
ing.
Therefore, asks the State press,
why not let the argument proceed?
The answer is, of course, that the
argument likely will proceed—and
few can remember when an argument
in which “Uncle Jim” Woodward
played a star part was not decidedly
and more or less absorbingly inter
esting!
It generally is accepted as a fore
gone conclusion that Roscoe Luke, of
Thomasville, who was defeated for
Congress by Judge Frank Park in a
special election called to name a suc-
cesssor to Congressman Roddenbery,
of the Second District, will again be
a candidate against Park in the pri
maries next summer.
It is an open secret that neither
Luke nor his friends consider the
late election conclusive. Indeed, so
far from conclusive do they consider
it that there was serious talk of a
contest for many days following the
late election—and there likely would
have been a contest had not Mr. Luke
put bis foot down upon that method
of settling matters, and practically
assured his friends that he would try
conclusions again with Judge Park in
the regular primary elections, under
the usual regulations as to registra
tion. and $o forth, then to be pre
scribed for all contests in the State.
While Mr. Luke himself is not en
gaged in active campaigning, it is ad
mitted by many of his close friends
that he is in the race, and much quiet
work even now is being done in his
behalf.

nrpssinn. .lanuarv in New York showed ar . < ’ $* 05. rimothj, small bales, $100,
presslon, January in New York showed
strength, indicating that some strong
influences are contending for ihe stock,
and the technical condition must have
changed radically since the heavy li
quidation of the past week. A keen
observer advances the opinion that the
difference on low grades will be further
increased in the February revision, and
that as soon as January tenders are
accommodated the market will be in
better shape to respond to bullish in
fluences.
On the idea that conditions for ten
dering might be severe in March, this
position is likely to keep Its premium
over January, and those who tendered
stock this morning and met competition
for it quickly boug thin notices in or
der not to lose stock.
Our market gained about 7 points
this morning in the early trading, on
the strength of developments in New
Y r ork, but the advance was poorly sup
ported. As usual, people appear to lose
faith at the decisive moment.
The break of the past week seems to
have shaken confidence and a great deal
depends on the coming Census report.
If it should be excessively heavy, as
the last Census, the hull side would
lose many friends without regard to
the strong argument that such author
ities as The Times-Democrat, the Gov
ernment and the Turner Bureau of
Memphis, are not likely to be much out
of the way in estimating the crop.
Should the Census be around last year’s
figures for the period and give the
least support to the contention that rap
id ginnlngs are misleading the world as
to the size of the crop, a decided revival
of confidence and action on the bull
side would likely follow. In any acse,
the market is now two-sided, and
chances on the hull style are logically
greater after the break than they
w'ere before.

It Is said that the reactionary move
ment from 12c upward was more the re
suit of shorts taking profit than of oper
ators taking the long side of the mar-
kef.

The feeling of optimism is growing
each day and there is a disposition on
the part of the business world to look
for an improvement iiv various lines.
The stock market has reflected this op
timistic feeling In a very large measure.
Advices from dry goods circle^ show
that there is a better demand. How
ever. it Is not on a large scale at the
moment.
• * *
H. F Bachman & Co. say:
“Telegrums received from spot firms in
the South say that actual cotton is not
following the depression in futures.
This Is a hopeful sign, but as there are
many authorities who believe that the
crop will be ample for all needs. In
view of the depression existing not only
in this country, but in Europe. It is not
likely that the mills will stock up with
the raw material, even at these rela
tively cheaper prices
“What Is needed Just now is confl
dence, and if it Is restored through the
instrumentality of the currency measure
It will not be long before the wheels of
commeree begin to turn and there will
be many willing hands helping to grease
the machinery.
“For the near future w'e are Inclined
to look for slightly lower prices, hut
we do not expect a very big decline
from this level. There Is a good de
mand around the 12c mark, and It is
more than likely that mills will begin
buying under this price.”
* * *
About 50,000 notices were Issued at
the opening, mostly by McF'adden.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: "Queer as it may seem, only a
little is heard of the statistical position
of cotton, while a great deal Is heard
about large ginnings. and prospective
large tenders at New York to-day.
lender the circumstances most traders
seem to think the cotton market, by
holding Its own at this time, is doing
splendidly. The influence of the holi
days is a modifying factor. The fear
of tenders of low grade cotton, for some
of which there is no ready sale to con
sumers. is an Influence of moment.
“The knowledge that no cotton lias
matured in recent weeks and that ♦he
gins have been rapidly cleaning up the
crop seems to exert less influence on
sentiment than the fact that the tal
ent expects larger ginnings for the pe
riod December 14 to January 1 than
last year, to be reported by the Gov
ernment. In this latter connection some
analysis is now apropos: prior to De
cember 14 the Census Bureau reports
12,923 000 ba'es ginned. If the crop be.
say 14.250.U770 bales, and the new growth
included In 1914 he the same as In 1913
and the linters and repacks amount to
575,000 bales, there would remain to be
ginned after December 14 some 750,-
000 bales.”

All Holiday Goods
Were Well Sold Out
Marshall Field & Co.,.In their weekly
review of the dry goods trade, says:
"The volume of mail orders received
during the last few days preceding
Christman was in excess of the totals
for the corresponding days a year ago
This is remarKttble. considering the ex
tremely unseasonable weather during
that time
“The numerous mail orders may be in
terpreted as an indication that the gen
eral distribution of holiday goods was
larger than a year ago. inasmuch as the
sales of heavy wearing apparel were be
low normal
"The increase of last minute orders
also seemed to indicate that holiday
stocks throughout the territory adjoin
ing Chicago were well sold ouL”
G. D. Potter says: “I believe that
foreign liquidation in certain issues,
such as Canadian Pacific, will be over
by January i. and expact this will help
the market.

Grain Notes
The Chicago Inter Ocean says “Wheat
developed an oversold condition follow
ing a small break at the opening, made
in sympathy with the decline in corn ..
and lower cables, but prices rallied and
closed at the top with net gains of 1%
on December and % cent on deferred
futures.
“Congestion in December corn became
acute and shorts led by Armour brokers
and the buying by Bartlett and Frazer
made the advance, prices going up 2%
cents over the low point made early
with the close at the top, at 70%, and
net gains of 2% cents. The failure of
the leading longs to sell and fears that
part of the corn intended for delivery
on December contracts might get into
store in time for delivery this month,
were factors in inducing shorts to cover,
as was also the strength In the cash
market.”

“Wheat—It is possible that we may
have a settled setback to-day. as there
was a good deal of short covering yes
terday, but we continue to adhere to the.
long side of the market.
“Com—The market is still oversold,
and we believe that the present longs
will adhere to their holdings,
j "Oats—Prices will be Influenced more
or less by the action in other grains
“Provisions—We continue to favor the
long side on all setbacks."
